CommentsDave, Great website! I met you after a gig at the moonlight club, I think you are the father of my son leroy, he is in brixton at the minute, but would love to meet you!! Karen xx
CommentsKaren: you are mistaken: you don't have a son, you have a scooter. It is call Vespar and is in Brighton at the moment. Easy mistake to make as Dave has fathered several items of road transport - hence his nickname: 'Truck'
CommentsActually his nickname is Trunk, for no apparent reason!!!!!!
CommentsHey Coltrop. Do you want the Topper photo for the site? Actually, I was party to the nickname 'Trunk' origin if anyone wants to know I will tell you! How about a link for my band. Mine was a Lamby TV 175 by the way. SMOLLEY
CommentsLa La La La La London! I'd always thought trunk, but avoided asking in the fear that it might question my sexuality. Ahhh, Cyprus We once took a slash up the wall of greatness It felt good It felt right We were not bloody tourists, you know Oh no We were working there So we're not paying tourist rates That late nite kebab van That karaoke bar in Aiya Napa That Chili Restaurant We were there once And it will stay with me forever. I'm off to bed now. To sleep, perchance, to wake up and have a pint. Next to every enter key there is always a delete. I hope. Simon
CommentsWell I'm not going to argue once every six months as to Dave's nickname. Essentially the fen winds wot blow render all who live in Peterborough blocked up in the nasel cavities; hence Truck became "Trunk for No Apparent Reason" due to this pneumatic phenomenen. Amongst his philanthropic activities he has personally financed the boom in takeaway foods: New Scientist had him on their cover in 1986 with the heading "Abdominal Black Hole not fillable with Kebab alone" Hawkins himself was at a loss to explain how time seems to stretch out to infinity while Dave gazes on fast food menus.
CommentsVery interesting ...................but stupid!

CommentsThanks Mark for the kind comments - that was a good old fashioned rock trio gig!. Thanks also to all all those other 70's dudes who have updated the site guest book (didn't know I had that many friends who were literate), I know trio rock music died a long time ago but keep that freak flag flyin' high - DC
CommentsCOOL heared it on heraward fm
CommentsDave Can you send me your email address RE cheep internet spectacles. Mark mark.smith@linx.co.uk
CommentsGroovy Street, Just as I remember back 20yrs ago when Werrington was under construction. Interesting to view, Sandra from Perth WA
CommentsHi I once lived in Peterborough (1960/70's) Suprised to see that it still exists. Thought the place would die of boredom before the new millenium! Tell us does it still smell of a mixture of boiled sugar beet and brick burning sulphur? Re the smells of Peterborough - no I'm afraid the sugar beet and brickyard smells of my childhood ceased in the 1980's when British Sugar closed the plant and brick production reduced. It has certainly changed from the 1970's, mind you the fact that it used to be so boring here made me want to get out and play in the first place! - DC
CommentsAs an ex pat living in Canada, who used to live in Werrington, thanks for providing the web cam!

CommentsThey did have video cameras in 1988 but the lenses weren't wide enough!
CommentsI was once happy, I had a little kebab restaurant in Cyprus, a wife and savings. One day (sometime ago now) I held a promotion "eat as much as you can for £1", this is when I first met you, Meester David Colton! Oh yes you gave me your dirty £1 gig money (the bank of the One Eyed Cat) which I accepted. If I knew then that I would now be living alone in an old Ford Cortina on bricks, I would never have let you through my doors. Beware all those that try to fill the void we call "David Colton".
Commentsi know werrington quite well as my friend lives there you have some good pubs there too the three horseshoes and also the ploughman when i am down there thats where i usually frequent hope to see your group on one of my visits bye 4 now paul from burton on trent
